Message6104

This is a bug related to os.stat.  It might be related to msvcrt.dll's problems with the stat function.  I have no idea how it works on CPython, but it does work correctly.

A work around would be to implement os.path.exists using java.io.File instead.  This always seems to work.

Can we patch os.path.exists to just use java.io.File instead of trying to use stat()?

Here's the output using Jython 2.5.2beta2 and cpython 2.6
